Description

Mazuri® Insectivore Gel Diet can be fed in combination with fruit, vegetables, browse or other food items. Care should be taken when using supplemental dietary ingredients to ensure that nutrient recommendations are assessed.
Feed intake will vary based on age, body size and reproductive status.
A targeted level would be 2.5%-3.0% powder per kg of animal by body weight per day (never feed dry powder without combining with water).

Mix, by weight, 65% boiling (or at minimum 180°F) water to 35% Mazuri® Insectivore Gel Diet, or for a more firm product use less water.
Mix thoroughly with a spoon, fork or whisk for two minutes, then pour into a shallow pan and allow to cool.
Refrigerate until firm. Cut into pieces appropriately sized for the animals being fed.

Storage Conditions

Mazuri® Gel Diets have a 1 year shelf life in the dry powder form when stored in a dry environment. For best results, tightly affix lid on canister after removal of desired dosage or store contents of open bag in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75°F or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location. The mixed product should be stored under refrigeration for no longer than 7 days or frozen for up to a month. It is recommended that frozen batches be individually sealed in amount of usage, as repeated entry into the container exposes gel to oxygen. Once this product is mixed with water to form a gel, it should be handled like raw meat.
